Type species.

Bostrichus monographus Fabricius.

Species of Xyleborus differ from most (but not all) members of the tribe by the truncate antennal club, the first segment of which is corneous. Species of Xyleborus s. str. ( Hulcr and Cognato 2013) have an inflated prosternal posterocoxal process. Some species currently placed in Xyleborus do not have this feature, but the proper genus placement of many such species is unclear.
